Maybe there is, but maybe not.

Tbh, when Ive been trying to learn anatomy a little, it kindaaa skeeves me out looking at the different tendons and ligaments in faces and bodies and with my surgeries in the past, I do get a little unsettled looking at the diagrams(I use this as an example because Im not sooo bad with insects)

What works for me is just powering through unfortunately and taking breaks.

You also maybe can learn why insects are part of the lessons and maybe put it to the side for now?

We dont ALL create insects for a living so theres a purpose for the lesson. If you cant get through it, maybe move onto a different one and see if maybe you can then look back at the insect lesson and grab out of it what you may need for the next lesson ya know?

Also maybe instead of using ACTUAL insects as reference, maybe cartoony ones may be easier, but you seemed off put by them entirely, so taking breaks/putting it to the side and seeing what you can do in the next one may be the next best thing.
